As Zimbabwe continues to mourn the tragic death of its philanthropic tycoon in a private jet crash, new heartbreaking details have emerged. It has now been revealed that the businessman’s girlfriend, who was onboard the ill-fated flight, miraculously survived the crash but suffered life-altering injuries.
According to sources close to the investigation, the tycoon’s girlfriend was pulled from the wreckage alive but with severe injuries. She reportedly lost one leg in the crash and sustained burns covering 60% of her body. She is currently receiving critical care at a specialized hospital in Kenya, where medical teams are fighting to stabilize her condition.
“She’s in a very fragile state, but she’s alive. The injuries are extensive, and it’s going to be a long road to recovery,” a hospital representative stated.
The private jet, which went down shortly after takeoff from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, killed the tycoon and three crew members instantly. Emergency responders managed to extract the girlfriend from the wreckage before the plane erupted into flames.
Kenyan aviation authorities have confirmed that the crash investigation is ongoing, with initial reports pointing to potential engine failure as the cause.
The tycoon, celebrated for his generosity and flamboyant lifestyle, was reportedly on a private trip with his girlfriend. Their relationship, though kept relatively private, had been the subject of much speculation due to the tycoon’s high-profile status.
Sources close to the couple have revealed that they were deeply in love, with the girlfriend often accompanying the tycoon on his travels.
